Zero Trust Security: A New Paradigm For a Changing World

A significant paradigm shift occurred in the last few years. Much like other technological shifts of the last decade  when cloud computing changed the way we do business, agile changed the way we develop software and Amazon changed the way we shop  Zero Trust presents us with a new paradigm in how we secure our organizations, our data and our employees.

While difficult to identify the precise tipping point, one thing is certain: what were once extraordinarily high-profile, damaging breaches are no longer extraordinary. In just the last18 months, Yahoo, Accenture, HBO, Verizon, Uber, Equifax, Deloitte, the U.S. SEC, the RNC, the DNC, the OPM, HP, Oracle and a profusion of attacks aimed at the SMB market have allproven that every organization  public or private  is susceptible.

The epiphany behind the paradigm shift is clear: Widely-accepted security approaches based on bolstering a trusted network do not work. And they never will. Especially when businesses aredealing with skill shortages, overloaded employees and an ever-expanding number of cloud apps and mobile devices that broaden the attack surface with each passing day.

Organizations spent a combined $150 billion on cybersecurity in 2015 and 2016. During approximately the same period, 66 percent of organizations surveyed reported five or more data breaches. Money wont solve this problem. An entirely new approach is required. And now its here.
